Kickapoo Downtown Airport sits in Wichita Falls, Texas. The field elevation is 1,003 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 4,450 ft long and paved with concrete. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. No ILS approaches are published here.

The published pattern altitude is not listed, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits near busy training airspace. Published remarks say intensive jet trainer traffic operates between 2,300 and 3,000 ft MSL within Alert Area A-636. Stay below 1,800 ft MSL until you are in radar contact with approach control for traffic advisories. That matters here.

Kickapoo Downtown Airport, the on-field FBO, carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. Full and self-serve fuel are both published. Runway end identifier lights are on runways 17 and 35. Medium intensity runway lights are on the runway and are controlled by CTAF. Watch the published obstacle notes near both runway ends. The airport is also easy to confuse with Sheppard Air Force Base or Wichita Falls Municipal Airport, which are 7 miles north. If you need clearance delivery, contact Fort Worth ARTCC at the published number before departure.
